"Hurry up, Mandy! Everyone is waiting for you!"

I gazed at the pretentious faces of the Yarrow family and scoffed silently.

Since they were determined to be so ruthless, they couldn't blame me for showing them no mercy.

After gathering myself, I put on a docile and compliant look. Nodding gently, I replied, "Alright, I understand. I'll… do as you all say today."

Anthony and Joana were immediately delighted.

"I knew you were an understanding woman!"

The instant we sat, they were back to the

  • I Failed My MIL's Test and Walked Away   Chapter 10

    As time went by, Joana's resentment grew. She was convinced that we definitely had something valuable hidden away because we were so wealthy, and she kept looking for opportunities to steal something to make up for her losses.One day, I had to leave the house to run an errand. She seized the chance to sneak into my upstairs study and used a tall stool to reach the safe I kept high up on a shelf.However, she lost her balance, and her body tipped to the side before she fell off the stool.By the time I returned home, the ambulance had already arrived.The doctor informed us that she had broken her spine and would forever be paralyzed from the waist down.Anthony, Andrew, and Megan charged at me in a crazed rage. Jabbing a finger at me, Anthony screamed, "This is all your fault! You forced my mom to be your housekeeper, so you have to compensate us for the medical expenses and emotional damages! 100 thousand dollars, and not a single cent less!"I simply shot them an indifferent s

    My heart tightened with emotion as Mom shielded me behind her.Subsequently, I said to Anthony in a frosty tone, "Stop hiding behind 'love' as an excuse for your actions! Where was that love when you and your family worked together to set me up? Now that you're being held responsible for your crimes, you suddenly remember that we were in a relationship?"I didn't want to waste any more time on them. All I wanted was for this farce to end quickly."You want to settle this privately? Sure. First, return that 25 thousand dollars to me immediately. Second, publicly apologize to me and clear up all the malicious rumors you spread about me. Third, assume liability for your false accusations, malicious framing, and incitement of trouble."When Joana heard that I expected them to both pay up and take responsibility for their crimes, she immediately raged, "Are you trying to kill us? It's just a minor conflict between two lovers! Do you really have to be so ruthless?"The police officer fr

    Megan said, "Mom is right! That's exactly how you should put her in her place! Let's see if she's still so arrogant after this!"Every single word out of their mouths revealed their blatant scheming and rotten character.The hall fell silent for a brief moment before chaos erupted."How could Andrew's family do something so dirty? That's just so messed up!""They deliberately planted the blame on her and even ruined her reputation! Are they even human?""How terrifying of them! Not only did they trick her into coming to this engagement party, but they even plotted so many things behind her back!"Every single one of the Yarrows had gone pale and could hardly stand steady on their feet."Y-You set us up!"Bringing the microphone to my mouth, I said coldly, "Everyone, you've heard it for yourselves. This is the Yarrow family's true colors. Besides that, I was completely unaware of today's engagement party. It was Anthony who tricked me into coming here by saying he wanted to retu

Nodding gently, I replied, "Alright, I understand.

"Mandy, since you've gotten engaged to Tony, that means that we've accepted you as our daughter-in-law. Now, go and toast all of the relatives one by one, and remember to mind your manners."Picking up my wine glass, I quietly did as ordered, toasting everyone individually.Eager to add fuel to the fire, Megan suggested,

    I flung Joana's hand away from me as anger and embarrassment surged through me. When I spoke, even my voice shook."Who told you that? What nonsense are you spouting?"Nonetheless, Joanna clung to my hand tightly, a self-assured smile on her lips."Feeling shy, are we? Tony told me that when you two went on that holiday a while back, it was practically a honeymoon trip. Isn't marriage the logical next step?"That had me stunned for a moment before I snapped out of it and retorted loudly, "Holiday? That was a business trip! He went with me to work, and we clearly slept in two different rooms!"Since I was young, my parents taught me to save the most precious moment for my wedding night. Hence, in my three years with Anthony, we had never gone that far, despite whatever feelings we had.Snapping my head around to stare at Anthony with a frosty gaze, I growled, "You told your mom that?"Anthony couldn't meet my eyes as he fumbled over his words, his voice small. "We've been togethe

    Joana was briefly surprised, but then she let out a scoff and uttered disdainfully, "Wow, what a great act you're putting on! Who would've thought that you would purposely hire an actor to pretend to be your lawyer in your bid to marry into our family? You sure spared no expense!"Well, too bad for you! We already gave you an opportunity to retake the test, but you didn't appreciate it! This method won't work on us anymore! We have our pride too, so either you pay the compensation, or I send you to prison!"She remained as mean as ever, not at all believing that the lawyer was speaking the truth.The lawyer took a step forward and calmly looked at the lead officer. "Sir, I'm Ms. Amanda Lance's lawyer. With my client's wealth, there's no motive for theft at all. I request that the gold bangle be sent to the lab to check for fingerprints. Whether her fingerprints are on it or not can easily be verified."The police officer nodded and gestured for the bangle to be placed in a sealed e
